The Balanced

I’ve spent most of my life around animals, especially dogs. Growing up in a multi-dog household gave me early exposure to different behaviors and personalities, which sparked my interest in understanding how animals think and communicate.

Over the years, I’ve studied dog behavior and learned from some of the most successful trainers, focusing on behavior over just obedience. I currently work as a dog trainer, helping owners better understand their dogs and create real, lasting change.

I also have over 11 years of experience working with birds of prey, which has strengthened my ability to read behavior, timing, and subtle communication — skills that carry directly into how I work with dogs.

My approach is simple: most behavior problems come from confusion, not bad dogs. When owners understand their dog and create clear, consistent structure, everything starts to change.
